For centuries, Christians approached the Bible as a sacred text to be interpreted with reverence and obedience. Today, however, many churches are reshaping Scripture's language, tone, and expectations, making it more accessible, relatable, and, some argue, "easier" to obey. But what is gained, and what might be lost, when ancient commands are adapted to modern sensibilities?
Coupled together with unbelievable advancements in technology like artificial intelligence and augmented reality, within seconds, written content, images, videos, and audio clips so realistic can be created, it is nearly impossible for the casual observer to distinguish otherwise. This has resulted in information, ideals, and concepts that were once easily discernable and accepted as legitimate, certain, real, and truthful which must be now viewed with suspicion and their veracity questioned.
Political divisions over the US-Israel attack on Iran surfaced shortly after the attack became publicly known. It does not seem to matter that keeping Iran from joining the nuclear club has been the policy of every presidential administration of both parties since Bill Clinton in the 1990s. George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump all left open the idea of using force to keep the terrorist nation of Iran out of the nuclear club.

Western Civilization is not an ethnicity. It’s not a genetic inheritance passed down through European bloodlines or a cultural preference for pastries and Bach. It is, at its core, a set of ideas about human dignity and the purpose of government; all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights that precede government itself. Because of this, the West determined that good government would serve the individual when the historical norm was that people served their government. The result has been unprecedented freedom and prosperity, but it still has serious competition.
Of all the End Time events, the Rapture of the Church generates the most interest and the most controversy. I have a friend who wrote that the Rapture is third in the list of top 10 topics that have most divided the Church—right after COVID-19 vaccinations and the Harry Potter books! So what is the Rapture of the Church? Where did that idea come from? Is it a new idea as some purport? Is it something we should seriously consider; and if so, why? And when will it happen exactly?
At COP30, Communist China unveiled a grotesque, demonic image that it calls the “dragon jaguar guardian spirit.” It displayed devil horns on its head and human hands holding the world. It shows that Satan, whom Jesus described as “the father of lies” (John 8:44), is advancing the need for all the world’s religions to unite under one banner using the ruse of a climate change emergency as its justification.

Replacement theology is the belief that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan, and that the promises God made to Israel no longer apply to the Jewish people. Instead, those promises are said to now belong only to the Church. However, when we read the Bible carefully, this view does not fit with what Scripture actually teaches.
Neufeld’s case has been in the courts for nine years, and the BC Human Rights Tribunal recently handed down its decision, calling Neufeld’s public comments based on his beliefs “dehumanizing,” “delegitimizing,” and “extremely serious and damaging.” Why? Because: "If a person elects not to 'believe' that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not 'believe' in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial."
It is almost unimaginable to think of a bride who would be apathetic about her impending wedding. And yet, many in the Bride of Christ seem unconcerned and indifferent about the joy that awaits when our Bridegroom comes to snatch us away, gathering us to Himself in the blink of an eye. Oh, what a joy-filled day that will be! But that is only the beginning of the glories and joys that await us according to Bible prophecy.
We should embrace the current Israel as genuine Israel, called to travel a painful path in the future that will lead to her sifting and salvation. The defense and preservation of this nation is dear to the heart of God. It should be dear to ours also. The adversary wants conservatives and Christians to turn their back on current Israel because that helps forward his iniquitous plans to expunge the current Israel so there is no Israel at the second coming that can be redeemed. It is high time for all dispensationalists to get on the right side of the Zionism issue.

Though secular geologists insist the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, a group of Calvary Chapel pastors recently visited the canyon, examining firsthand evidence of a young earth and a global flood—as described in the Bible.
Consider how many of God’s greatest gifts to humanity flowed through the pipeline of Israel. Western civilization goes hand in hand with Judeo-Christian values. Many others also helped create the culture we now enjoy, including the Greeks and the Romans. But ultimately, the best part of the civilization built and bequeathed to us by our ancestors, rests on the shoulders of Abraham, Moses, and, most of all, Jesus.
The madness has now reached peak levels in the UK. This month, the Labor government announced that Britain's countryside is too "white," and come hell or high water, they are going to make it more diverse, whether the people living there like it or not. Get ready for mosques and hijabs in quaint little British towns that were a last refuge from the Islamization that has transformed Britain's big cities. Europe is falling, and it's falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what's left of it.
Unfortunately, some theologians claim Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension invalidate God’s covenantal relationship with Israel. If this theory were true, there would be no biblical reason to support Israel’s rebirth as a nation in its ancient homeland today. But this concept never entered Paul’s mind. Paul taught that Israel not only matters to God, but that the nation has a bright prophetic future.
The political, economic and societal demise of what was once the wealthiest country in South America should serve as a stark warning for those in our country who champion the so-called virtues of socialism—an atheistic worldview that says government, not God, has the answers for all our problems. With all the man-centered religions and philosophies of the world, thank God we have the Holy Bible—universal truth for all people, for all time, regardless of culture, ethnicity, politics or socio-economic status.
From the beginning of my ministry, I have given testimony of my parents raising their children to stand on the authority of God’s Word, never knowingly compromise God’s Word, and have a heart for reaching people with the gospel message. I have testified many times of my father’s leadership of my family and how he led us to stand boldly on the Bible’s authority. We all saw our parents’ love for God and His Word and their heart for the gospel. I can’t emphasize the impact our parents had on our lives enough.
Today, YouTube and social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok are filled with videos that appear real but are actually AI-generated fiction—cleverly crafted clickbait designed to capture our attention. Meanwhile, students from elementary classrooms to graduate schools are turning to AI-powered tools. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence isn’t just making its way into classrooms or workplaces. It’s slipping into the church, too.
X (formerly Twitter) filed a landmark legal challenge Monday to a $140 million fine imposed by the European Commission under the European Union’s Digital Services Act—a sweeping censorship regime that uses American technology companies to impose European speech restrictions on users worldwide, including in the United States.
Only the study of what God has told us about that coming day, and the events around and contributing to it, can reinforce our hope in such a powerful way. We need to study what He’s told us is to come. It’s heartbreaking to think that God gave us these beautiful depictions of our hope revealed and we might simply ignore them, for fear that they might make us unpopular, or because they seem too divisive.
Earlier this week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said out loud what many socially conservative Christian believers have long suspected radical factions of culture contend to be fact: White, Christian, heterosexual men are the cause of all kinds of problems, and maybe even behind the collapse of Western Civilization itself.
One particular statement was truly profound, and its tremendous accuracy stems from being bred out of a Biblical worldview. Discussing the collapse of communism in Germany, Rubio warned that the celebration of this success in the West quickly morphed into an ill-conceived fantasy about the future of nations. This globalist mentality, he stressed, “was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly.”
The mask is now off completely. As America marks the 250th anniversary of its founding, the unholy alliance between Islam and the radical left is becoming very bold, publicly proclaiming that they intend to take the United States in a new direction—from faith, family, and freedom to socialism, Sharia, and separation.
Led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the letter demands answers over how YouTube moderates content on its platform, and why the platform has removed and censored conservative content.
The rise of humanism (the idea that man is the measure of all things) has changed all of that. In today's world, the basis of truth has been moved from something that is objective—outside of us—to something that is subjective—inside of us. Everything is measured by how you feel about it. About a decade ago, I first heard the phrase: "I'm speaking my truth." Since when do you get to personalize it?
The assembled leaders and diplomats, mostly from Europe and across the Western world, heard Secretary Rubio deliver a rousing defense of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. It was a call for the West to unite around our shared history, values, and Christian heritage—and to proudly stand for faith, family, and freedom. Rubio received a standing ovation when he was done, and for good reason.
Instead of simply offering criticism, let’s lift them up in prayer—asking God to protect them, guide them, and give them the wisdom they need to lead well. Because at the end of the day, when godly wisdom leads, we all benefit. Pray for our president. Pray for our nation. And pray that we would continue to be one nation under God!
Krasner made the comments during a public appearance at Penn Square last week, where he described ICE agents as “a small bunch of wannabe Nazis.” He added, “if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”
What happens when you take artificially intelligent “bots,” give them the ability to take on unique “personalities,” then provide them with a space where they can communicate and socialize with each other? The answer: they create their own religion comprised of AI, designed for AI, and governed by AI.
Should Christians support children destroying their bodies with cross-sex hormones and mutilating themselves because “all children are children of God”? Well, that’s the reasoning that our Kentucky governor, Andy Beshear, recently used on The View. This is an example of progressive Christians taking and championing something that sounds good and quasi-biblical while ignoring everything else the Bible says on the subject.
In a single moment in time, you can make a decision that affects your entire life. The most important decision of all is Jesus Christ – whether you accept him or reject him. The biggest decision of all is what you do with Jesus Christ. A lot is at stake. I really believe that Jesus is coming back. He could return today, tonight, or tomorrow. Will you be ready? Get right with God. Get right … or get left.
The Cellebrite device is involved in 97% of crimes solved by smartphone data. It's an industry-standard high-end mobile forensics tool used by law enforcement, military, and intelligence agencies to extract, decrypt, and analyze data from thousands of mobile devices. It can bypass locks, recover deleted content, and access app data. Basically, nothing can be permanently erased and hidden.
The church can play a vital role in shaping moral conscience. But that role carries responsibility. Scripture should never be weaponized to shield unlawful behavior or to shame those charged with upholding the law. Pastors are free to call individuals to acts of mercy, generosity and personal sacrifice. But ministers should cautiously, honestly consider whether they are using their platform to demand that the state surrender its God-given duty to govern justly.
As I’ve spoken to churches around the nation, I’ve asked seasoned Christians who were alive in 1948 and 1967 if they remember the excitement surrounding developments in Israel. Almost everyone who lived through those times consistently testified that there was no celebration, no sense of “Aha!”, not even faint awareness that God’s prophetic time clock was moving into overdrive. Without a clear understanding of God’s promises to Israel—most people had no real awareness of what was coming to pass before their eyes.
Instead of sitting through Bad Bunny's performance—which was entirely in Spanish and included people waving foreign flags, women twerking, and two men grinding on each other—tens of millions of Americans instead watched Turning Point USA's "All American" halftime show. In total, Turning Point believes the final tally may be 40 or even 50 million people who watched the live stream across various outlets.
“Today, this university, with such a unique history, which receives billions of our federal tax dollars, is one of the red-hot centers of ‘Hate America’ activism,” Hegseth averred, after detailing Harvard’s historical ties to the U.S. military. He contrasted the Harvard that served as a military base for George Washington during the Revolutionary War against the Harvard of today, which vilifies the military and penalizes patriotism."
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy. It would require anyone registering to vote prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it's a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.
Federal immigration officials are warning that tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens could be released back into California communities as the state continues refusing to honor ICE detainers.
In a day when social media blasts us with such a vast assortment of false beliefs on every conceivable matter, it’s more important than ever that we know what the Bible says about the fundamentals of our faith. And of course, that includes reminders of the biblical basis for our hope in Jesus’ soon appearing, which is so often the target of ridicule in today’s world.
Influencing government for good on the basis of the wisdom found in God’s own words is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government. Within a few years, most people would have no moral authority beyond that of individual human opinion. How could a nation find any moral guidance?
Newsmax, in a statement said, “This is a pure act of censorship targeting a news organization reaching over 50 million Americans regularly. Newsmax plays it straight and that drives the far left crazy.”
For years, a growing body of international research has warned against these interventions. Finland, Sweden, and England all reevaluated and restricted pediatric gender treatments after reviewing outcomes data. In May of last year, even the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged that the evidence supporting medical intervention for minors was weak at best. So why the change now? Was it the accumulation of research showing not only a lack of benefit, but demonstrable harm? That’s literally the two-million-dollar question.
The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping overhaul of federal employment rules that would make it significantly easier to discipline—and potentially fire—career officials in senior government positions, intensifying President Donald Trump’s long-running campaign against what he describes as a hostile “deep state.”
“Almost 250 years after our founding fathers took one of the greatest leaps of faith in human history … [the] faith of the American people remains unbroken. It actually became stronger than ever. And it reminds us that prayers strengthen, prayers heal, prayer empowers, and prayer saves. Quite simply, prayer is America’s superpower. It really is a superpower. And it always has been, and it always will be.”
On January 28, a forum-style social media platform called Moltbook launched. Unlike other social media platforms, this one is for AI agents only. Humans can observe, but only AI can post, comment, and do other social media–related things. One of the first things these AI agents did was start creating religions.
“Speech that is lawful today can become criminalized tomorrow. This should concern every person that values freedom,” Räsänen said. “My case shows where this path can lead. Recent developments from the European Union, like the Digital Services Act, make European censorship a worldwide concern.”
AI has become a part of our lives. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said that artificial intelligence might be better than actually having real friends! The word antichrist doesn’t only mean “against Christ.” It also means “instead of Christ.” And when we start looking to AI for wisdom, guidance, and even companionship—that is antichrist behavior, or “instead of Christ” behavior; you’re substituting God in your life with AI. Rather than looking to God’s Word, you’re looking to artificial intelligence.
One of the classic arguments for the existence of a Creator God is that order doesn’t come from disorder. In other words, our universe is precisely ordered—from the movements of the planets in their orbits to the structure of atoms. Everything is amazingly precise and orderly, and that couldn’t have come from a random universe that began with a “big bang.” But a viral video claims to disprove this idea by supposedly showing order coming from disorder.
From Washington State and Oregon to Texas and Georgia and everywhere in between, young people carried propaganda signs as they shrieked at passersby and demanded that drivers honk. One video from Oregon appeared to show Kindergarten children involved in the protest. Numerous schools pre-emptively cancelled classes so students could protest, according to news reports.
In the hands of those who are selfish, those who strive for power and control, and those driven by wicked ambitions, technology can quickly become weaponized against those that are ignorant, unsuspecting, gullible, or powerless to stop it. Freedom of speech and expression can be censored, access to different locations and establishments can be restricted, and ability to purchase certain products can be limited, all because of something said, done, or believed that contradicts the “established” or “approved” policies and positions of those in power. To those who may think this sounds improbable or far-fetched, I would direct their attention to what has been happening recently just across our northern border in Canada.
As our culture increasingly clings to madness and barrels toward destruction, many in the church simply turn a blind eye. Yet, the presence of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit are the only two forces restraining evil in our world. If we see the rising tide of evil in our land and decide to do nothing, we are ceding ground to the enemy and being unfaithful in our calling as ambassadors for Christ. While the world’s mission is to conform us to its image, the church’s mission is to help others understand that they can be transformed by the person and power of Jesus Christ—and we must not abandon our mission.
The story that the legacy media would have us believe about Alex Pretti is that he was a peaceful protester, an observer, a caring nurse incapable of hurting a fly. New video now proves that all of what the media has been telling you isn't true. Verified video footage taken eleven days prior to the deadly confrontation with Pretti shows that he was looking for a provocation days before he brought a loaded weapon and obstructed a federal law enforcement operation.
Today’s prevalent kingdom mentality comes from applying human reason to the words of Scripture rather than interpreting them as the authors intended. The false assumption that God has replaced Israel with the Church dismisses a great multitude of clear prophetic texts as allegory, symbolic of another reality. Such interpretations find their basis in human wisdom, that which someone brings to Scripture rather than letting the words speak for themselves.
With twenty-six members from seventeen different states, the newly launched "Sharia Free America Caucus" in the US House of Representatives is working to reveal the dangers and safeguard America from freedom-trampling Islamic ideology. The caucus, chaired by Texas Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy, underscores that Sharia Law poses a direct threat to the United States and Western civilization, noting that both members of Congress and American citizens must be educated to understand the danger.
As a pastor, I try to keep my eye on Jesus, my nose in the Bible, and my ear to the ground. I try to pay attention to the cultural, social, and political trends that shape people's thinking and lives. I will often address those things from the pulpit through a biblical lens to help equip my congregation. We need to be wise about the times—and that will only happen if we know our Bibles and have the discernment of the Holy Spirit. As I've paid attention to recent events in our culture and the world, the trend is clear that antisemitism is on the rise.
Will Graham, who was invited to speak and lead a prayer, took the opportunity to share the Gospel with anyone who didn’t yet have a relationship with Christ. He told the story of Nicodemus, a religious leader in the Bible. “You can do good things, you can serve your community, but that doesn’t make you right in God’s eyes. You may look like you have it all together, but on the inside you’re far from God.”
The United States has formally completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, citing the organization’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what U.S. officials described as undue political influence by member states.
It's not a shocking statement to say that our world has a media problem. Bias, ideology, and lawless journalistic standards have brought the average person's trust in the media to an all-time low. While this problem is most prominent within secular circles, Christian media has a crisis of its own, and it's rooted in compromise. Many of these organizations were once sound—but a little compromise compromised the whole publication! Numerous newsgroups operating under a "Christian" banner have begun promoting abortion, attacking Israel, applauding LGBT ideology, and disseminating apostasy.
For those watching the attorney general’s response after protestors barged into a church last Sunday and disrupted a worship service, this probably doesn’t surprise you. In Minnesota, you don’t have to be a lawyer — or even know the law — to be attorney general. Even though he is an attorney, that helps explain how Keith Ellison got the job without a) knowing the law, or b) being able to read it. It is beyond you, Mr. Ellison — so let me help you out. Class is in session.
Paul warned young Timothy that persecution would come upon those who desired to live godly lives. The godless disruptors in St. Paul entered a holy place, a sanctuary set aside for the worship of Almighty God, to prohibit it from sharing God’s Word on a Sunday morning. This is further evidence that spiritual warfare is growing in these last days. These attention-seeking, Scripture-twisting, self-righteous political activists turned the worship service into a circus, but I wonder if they realize that the forces of darkness fueled their rage.
Neither of these individuals appeared to have been raised in Muslim households nor were recent immigrants. And yet, they were allegedly drawn into plans to support IS solely through online interactions. As Hankinson emphasized, they echo earlier figures like Zachary Chesser, the suburban Virginia convert who, post-high school, embraced radical Islam via blogs, websites, and eventual real-world ties. And what stands out today is the shift: radicalization increasingly requires no physical community, no visit to a mosque, no face-to-face recruitment… Screens alone suffice.
Federal civil rights officials are investigating the disruption of a Sunday church service in St. Paul after anti-ICE agitators stormed a Minnesota congregation, while some left-wing Christian leaders publicly applauded the incident as a form of judgment.
“They call it the Emergencies Act. It was really the Stalin Act,” he said. “I am pleasantly surprised that they did the right thing." Despite the legal win, the victory is “hollow” because the people who were wronged haven’t been reimbursed and the people who wronged him haven’t been punished, McVety added.
In effect, annihilationism provides an alternative option that is more palatable to those whose hearts are hardened towards God. Rather than placing their faith in Jesus for salvation from an eternity of anguish, those who are hostile towards Christ may willingly choose to endure the agony of the Lake of Fire in lieu of God’s offer of redemption, however long that suffering may last, provided that it ultimately comes to an end and they simply cease to exist.
The U.S. Constitution is grounded in the idea that government power must be limited and that individual rights come from God, not the state. The First Amendment protects religious liberty by forbidding the establishment of any religion while guaranteeing free exercise. Sharia law directly contradicts this principle because it is a religious legal code that merges faith and government. Where Sharia is enforced, religious belief is regulated and Islamic law is elevated above civil law. A system that mandates religious obedience cannot coexist with a Constitution that protects freedom of conscience.
Most are under the impression that the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict is primarily over land and sovereignty, with disputes over control of the Judea and Samaria, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. It would seem that this is all about possession of land. Yet the Muslim nations surrounding Israel already possess over 250 times as much land as the Jews have in the tiny nation of Israel. So, there is clearly more to this issue than meets the eye.
We should embrace the current Israel as genuine Israel, called to travel a painful path in the future that will lead to her sifting and salvation. The defense and preservation of this nation is dear to the heart of God. It should be dear to ours also. The adversary wants conservatives and Christians to turn their back on current Israel because that helps forward his iniquitous plans to expunge the current Israel so there is no Israel at the second coming that can be redeemed.

The Cellebrite device is involved in 97% of crimes solved by smartphone data.

It can bypass locks, recover deleted content, and access app data. Basically, nothing can be permanently erased and hidden.
The church can play a vital role in shaping moral conscience. But that role carries responsibility. Scripture should never be weaponized to shield unlawful behavior or to shame those charged with upholding the law. Pastors are free to call individuals to acts of mercy, generosity and personal sacrifice. But ministers should cautiously, honestly consider whether they are using their platform to demand that the state surrender its God-given duty to govern justly.
As I’ve spoken to churches around the nation, I’ve asked seasoned Christians who were alive in 1948 and 1967 if they remember the excitement surrounding developments in Israel. Almost everyone who lived through those times consistently testified that there was no celebration, no sense of “Aha!”, not even faint awareness that God’s prophetic time clock was moving into overdrive. Without a clear understanding of God’s promises to Israel—most people had no real awareness of what was coming to pass before their eyes.
Instead of sitting through Bad Bunny's performance—which was entirely in Spanish and included people waving foreign flags, women twerking, and two men grinding on each other—tens of millions of Americans instead watched Turning Point USA's "All American" halftime show. In total, Turning Point believes the final tally may be 40 or even 50 million people who watched the live stream across various outlets.
“Today, this university, with such a unique history, which receives billions of our federal tax dollars, is one of the red-hot centers of ‘Hate America’ activism,” Hegseth averred, after detailing Harvard’s historical ties to the U.S. military. He contrasted the Harvard that served as a military base for George Washington during the Revolutionary War against the Harvard of today, which vilifies the military and penalizes patriotism."
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy. It would require anyone registering to vote prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it's a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.
Federal immigration officials are warning that tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens could be released back into California communities as the state continues refusing to honor ICE detainers.
In a day when social media blasts us with such a vast assortment of false beliefs on every conceivable matter, it’s more important than ever that we know what the Bible says about the fundamentals of our faith. And of course, that includes reminders of the biblical basis for our hope in Jesus’ soon appearing, which is so often the target of ridicule in today’s world.
Influencing government for good on the basis of the wisdom found in God’s own words is a theme that runs through the entire Bible. Try to imagine what a nation and its government would be like if all Christian influence on government were suddenly removed—if all the churches and all the Christians in a society stopped seeking to have any kind of influence on laws or on government. Within a few years, most people would have no moral authority beyond that of individual human opinion. How could a nation find any moral guidance?
Newsmax, in a statement said, “This is a pure act of censorship targeting a news organization reaching over 50 million Americans regularly. Newsmax plays it straight and that drives the far left crazy.”
For years, a growing body of international research has warned against these interventions. Finland, Sweden, and England all reevaluated and restricted pediatric gender treatments after reviewing outcomes data. In May of last year, even the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged that the evidence supporting medical intervention for minors was weak at best. So why the change now? Was it the accumulation of research showing not only a lack of benefit, but demonstrable harm? That’s literally the two-million-dollar question.
The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping overhaul of federal employment rules that would make it significantly easier to discipline—and potentially fire—career officials in senior government positions, intensifying President Donald Trump’s long-running campaign against what he describes as a hostile “deep state.”
“Almost 250 years after our founding fathers took one of the greatest leaps of faith in human history … [the] faith of the American people remains unbroken. It actually became stronger than ever. And it reminds us that prayers strengthen, prayers heal, prayer empowers, and prayer saves. Quite simply, prayer is America’s superpower. It really is a superpower. And it always has been, and it always will be.”
On January 28, a forum-style social media platform called Moltbook launched. Unlike other social media platforms, this one is for AI agents only. Humans can observe, but only AI can post, comment, and do other social media–related things. One of the first things these AI agents did was start creating religions.
“Speech that is lawful today can become criminalized tomorrow. This should concern every person that values freedom,” Räsänen said. “My case shows where this path can lead. Recent developments from the European Union, like the Digital Services Act, make European censorship a worldwide concern.”
AI has become a part of our lives. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said that artificial intelligence might be better than actually having real friends! The word antichrist doesn’t only mean “against Christ.” It also means “instead of Christ.” And when we start looking to AI for wisdom, guidance, and even companionship—that is antichrist behavior, or “instead of Christ” behavior; you’re substituting God in your life with AI. Rather than looking to God’s Word, you’re looking to artificial intelligence.
One of the classic arguments for the existence of a Creator God is that order doesn’t come from disorder. In other words, our universe is precisely ordered—from the movements of the planets in their orbits to the structure of atoms. Everything is amazingly precise and orderly, and that couldn’t have come from a random universe that began with a “big bang.” But a viral video claims to disprove this idea by supposedly showing order coming from disorder.
In the hands of those who are selfish, those who strive for power and control, and those driven by wicked ambitions, technology can quickly become weaponized against those that are ignorant, unsuspecting, gullible, or powerless to stop it. Freedom of speech and expression can be censored, access to different locations and establishments can be restricted, and ability to purchase certain products can be limited, all because of something said, done, or believed that contradicts the “established” or “approved” policies and positions of those in power. To those who may think this sounds improbable or far-fetched, I would direct their attention to what has been happening recently just across our northern border in Canada.
As our culture increasingly clings to madness and barrels toward destruction, many in the church simply turn a blind eye. Yet, the presence of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit are the only two forces restraining evil in our world. If we see the rising tide of evil in our land and decide to do nothing, we are ceding ground to the enemy and being unfaithful in our calling as ambassadors for Christ. While the world’s mission is to conform us to its image, the church’s mission is to help others understand that they can be transformed by the person and power of Jesus Christ—and we must not abandon our mission.
The story that the legacy media would have us believe about Alex Pretti is that he was a peaceful protester, an observer, a caring nurse incapable of hurting a fly. New video now proves that all of what the media has been telling you isn't true. Verified video footage taken eleven days prior to the deadly confrontation with Pretti shows that he was looking for a provocation days before he brought a loaded weapon and obstructed a federal law enforcement operation.
Today’s prevalent kingdom mentality comes from applying human reason to the words of Scripture rather than interpreting them as the authors intended. The false assumption that God has replaced Israel with the Church dismisses a great multitude of clear prophetic texts as allegory, symbolic of another reality. Such interpretations find their basis in human wisdom, that which someone brings to Scripture rather than letting the words speak for themselves.
